It was either "Meteor" or "Northstar", I don't remember which. I bought
it about 10 or 11 years ago at a local nursery and it did splendidly
here (zone 4) until it died suddenly this summer. I'll get another sour
cherry just like it, but I'm wondering what bush fruits would be good
here besides raspberries.

I had some jostaberries until I pulled them out a few years ago because
they only produced when the summer was unusually cool and damp. They
would probably do really well anywhere near the shore of Lake Superior
-- like maybe Duluth.
